[RFC PATCH v2 05/12] submodule: use the 'submodule--helper config' command

[Antonio Ospite <ao2@ao2.it>]

Use the 'submodule--helper config' command in git-submodules.sh to avoid
referring explicitly to .gitmodules by the hardcoded file path.

This makes it possible to access the submodules configuration in a more
controlled way.

Note that there are other instances of "git config -f .gitmodules" in test
files, but I am not touching those for now.
